Oil filled up my spark plug hole (searched)

I was changing my spark plugs and oil filled up in there while I was taking the first one out. Time for a new valve cover gasket? Or is there something else wrong?

That would be my guess dude...I talked about part numbers and whatnot in another thread a long time ago when I changed mine. Feel free to check it out for any tips

(Let me know if you can't find it and I'll try to dig it up)

There is 2 large allen screw plugs in between the spark plug pairs. (they are casting holes)
Sometimes the thread sealer drys out & oil leaks from these plugs. If this is the problem,
remove - reseal w/ thread sealer/ teflon - replace.
